博客來＂Voyage In Search Of La Pérouse＂ recounts the journey undertaken by Jacques-Julien Houtou de La Billardière and his fellow travelers in the early 1790s. Ordered by the Constituent Assembly of France, the expedition sought to discover the fate of the lost explorer La Pérouse and his crew, who had vanished in the Pacific.

This book provides a window into the world of 18th-century exploration, combining scientific inquiry with the thrill of adventure, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in maritime history, scientific discovery, and the age of exploration.
